What can i say, except to share the review with you, and perhaps let you vicariously feel some of this radiant joy.

o then when you get a review that sees all the hope, love and care you have poured into your work, and responds to it in kind, while reminding you of why it is that you do the things you do ... well.

Earlier this week, I received an email I’ve dreamt about in multiple shapes and forms since the moment I committed to a PhD all those years ago. Duke University Press, home to some of the most inventive and genre-defying queer scholarship I know, has decided to publish my book -

Excited to kick off a month-long fellowship at the EUI in Florence with this workshop on ‘Lawful Repair’. Say hi if you’re around!

Very exciting, there is a new learned society in legal studies, the Legal Humanities Association. It's based in the UK but very explicitly international in focus. It aims to foster a community dedicated to cultural understandings of law. legalhumanities.com

@Latrobelaw is recruiting for a Lecturer (Teaching & Research) in Law. We are looking for a dedicated early-career academic to enrich our progressive and practice-oriented Law program. Applications close 13 April. More info: bit.ly/4kR3VNh

@aish1801 @PaliSamuel Thanks Aishwarya, really enjoyed your article!

Came across this very creatively written 'case comment' by @dsheikh726 and @PaliSamuel as a conversation on what the afterlife of law and queer activism could look like post-Supriyo. Was pleasantly surprised to see a short article that I had written for the Wire cited in it.

My latest article with @Kate_Seear, 'Are We Human Or are We Dancer?: Sex, Drugs, and Bodies of Law', has just been published in the @aflj_ The paper questions: who is the ‘human’ that is entitled to human rights in the context of drug-related laws? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to @latrobelaw’s @dsheikh726 on the success of his theatre show ‘Much to do with Law, but More to do with Love’, which has won the 2025 Queer Playwriting Award presented by Midsumma Festival! Read more: gasworks.org.au/artists-opport…

@profnikunjk Thanks Nikunj!

Thrilled to share that my play “Much to do with Law, but More to do with Love” has won the 2025 Queer Playwriting Award presented by Midsumma Festival. So excited for the chance to travel and share this work with a wider range of audiences.

@Broke_Bookworm Thanks Areeb, that’s incredibly kind. There are some plans brewing for bringing this new one to India later this year, am in conversation with some folks in Bangalore as of now :)

@dsheikh726 I was in awe of Love and Reparation when I read it a few years ago and it would be a treat to see the two plays performed. This one sounds great too and the recorded version on YouTube is handy. Any plans of bringing it to India?

@TanveeNandan Thanks Tanvee!

@dsheikh726 Congratulations!!

📢Excited to share the theme and the Call for Streams for the next Critical Legal Conference (4 -6 September 2025)! @critlegthinking #CLCExeter2025 sites.exeter.ac.uk/clc2025/
